Dear all, In the paper world, I know, it is clear.
A document with legal implications can never be destroyed without any trace. A document with legal implications can be removed from a registry in one place and moved to a special registry, folder, cupboard, etc. And the same is true for data entered (and attestedand therefor with leagal implications) in the paper file. What is in it, stays in it. It is explicitly forbidden to remove, scratch out, made unreadable, etc. The only way is to annotate incorrect data/information and not use it or send it to others. In other words, in the paper world in the Netherlands, we only know the logical delete. What has happened, has happened, we can not falsify history, is the bottom line.

To leave the data is a breach of privacy. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
